We, Arthur and Maria, were born and raised in the Philippines. We migrated to United States separately and met in San Francisco about 19 years ago. God has blessed us with two precious daughters, Danielle (16) and Dominique (11).

We started as worship leaders in a small Catholic Church community. We have led worship at several healing conferences in the area, from San Francisco all the way to the Stockton area, from 1988 to 1990, while God was also ministering to our own brokenness. Most recently, we were drawn to the Vineyard Christian Fellowship communities. Their worship songs have ministered and brought God’s healing to our lives. In addition to the Vineyard, we are still involved with a multi-denominational / diverse small group as worship leaders.

In 1995, we decided to pursue the calling of God in our lives and joined the Vineyard Christian Fellowship in San Francisco. In 2000, we moved to the Mid Peninsula Vineyard Church in San Carlos, where we were in charge of the Resource / Merchandise table. In 2003, we joined the Mid-Peninsula’s first mission trip to the Philippines. In 2004, we joined the North Peninsula Vineyard Church, where we lead a home group; and two intercessory groups, including one before Sunday service begins.

In 2006, we were appointed as worship leaders of the North Peninsula Vineyard Church here in San Bruno. This was the fulfillment of many prophetic words given to us for more than 17 years – that God would use us to lead worship, not only in small groups but also larger groups, in His appointed time.

Music has been our way of worshipping God in a very intimate way. We believe that we encounter God one on one, even in corporate worship. We believe that the key to be in God’s presence is to be ourselves, surrender all our internal and external attachments, let Him lead and take control of our lives.

Last, but not least, we believe that worshipping God is why we were created and why we are here. In every season of our lives, good or bad, we devote ourselves to worshipping, honoring and bringing a sacrifice of praise to the Audience of One.
